Has the BA BALPA forum been hacked - it's been down for over 24 hours now.
|
It might be hacked but being a suspicious soul I think one other possibility worth considering is that it might have been turned off for tactical reasons.
I do know the Mods over there have been working really chuffing hard for several weeks now trying to stop posters dropping themselves and/or BALPA in the dwang, but despite the repeated pleas there are still a few who don't seem to get the hints about ST..U and/or still feel entitled to have a minute by minute update on what's going on. If BALPA have pulled the plug temporarily TBH I wouldn't blame them. |
That’s just what I was thinking Wiggy. Frustrating as it is, I’ll accept there are probably very good reasons for suspending the forum for a few days. BA isn’t exactly a stranger to litigation. |

Thanks for the heads up...and I note there’s a fresh warning from one of the moderators. |
Here we go

Wonder how many Qatar Airways aircraft will pitch up!?

I’ll be very surprised if the strike will actually happen. I think a deal will done 11th hour. BA would be extremely foolish to pressure test the resolve of its pilots. Remember 93% voted in favour of strike action if a deal couldn’t be agreed on. BA have been messing about with the pay negotiations for the past 8 months. Unfortunately the only language they understand is money and the loss of revenue. |
If too many Qatar frames turn up it will only further damage the brand. The Qatar product showed itself as superior, last time they were covering a shortfall |
You have my support Nigel-Airways. it would appear this post is full of trolls dissing this issue. Look at pay rates in the Far East !

Some say...... Nobody knows what the union are asking for? Some say...... Nobody knows what striking will actually cost individuals. All we know is..... it won’t be finished in 2019! |
I’m guessing whoever “wins” this dispute, the cost of the loss of good -will of the pilots will far outstrip any strike costs. More of a lose-lose situation, that many staff could foresee when IAG put a notorious cost cutter in charge of IAG’s premier brand. |

RH, get back to your holiday and leave this to the people who know what they are doing.🙄
I notice Mr. Cruz had no answer on Sky News to his 63% remuneration rise!! |
This anniversary year is going rather well; a massive fine for the data protection breach, another IT failure (the last?) and now the pilots are getting so fed up they're walking. I wonder how things are going at the other 100 year old European airline? Perhaps some of the guys that left BA to go to KLM can enlighten us. |

"Getting in contact with customers and giving them options..." Haven't done a very good job of that apparently ! Cancelling flights and then reinstating them hasn't gone down too well. Muppet show...... |

Having been on strike over here in the US... I know it’s no fun. Stay unified and I wish my colleagues at BA a positive outcome. Reading the latest news reports, it seems like BA management is making every mistake and it would have been much better for them to bargain a bit more! |
Light at the end f the Tunnel??
BA wrote union a letter this afternoon saying they want negotiations to restart as soon as possible - either today or tomorrow
